As the title suggests, this is a thread to discuss the January Anime of the Month: One Punch Man. If you haven't watched it yet, you probably shouldn't be here because there will likely be an abundance of spoilers ahead.

My reactions to the anime:
I found it absolutely hilarious. Other members can attest to my noticeable cackling at the resolution of most fights. Despite the pretty upfront premise which you assume would make the series grow stale after the first episode, OPM always managed to keep things interesting despite Saitama being able to finish off everything in One Punch.

The satire of the DBZ generation of anime was something I've been wanting for a long time, and I'm so happy I got it.

I definitely enjoyed the show and though it was very funny. That being said, I am one to like to focus on the characters and I felt like character development was definitely lacking. Maybe that was intentional for some characters (specifically saitama's simplistic backstory) but it made it much more difficult to connect with the characters. Also while the fight with boros was boros was solid, the ending just was meh. Didn't really "end" anything. I haven't heard anything about a 2nd season yet and if it doesn't get one I would actually be fairly disappointed from the closure of this series.
